Django Exceptions
Django raises some of its own exceptions as well as standard Python exceptions.
Django Core Exceptions
Django core exception classes are defined in django.core.exceptions
.
AppRegistryNotReady
exception AppRegistryNotReady
[source]
This exception is raised when attempting to use models before the app loading process, which initializes the ORM, is complete.
ObjectDoesNotExist
exception ObjectDoesNotExist
[source]
The base class for Model.DoesNotExist
exceptions. A try/except
for ObjectDoesNotExist
will catch DoesNotExist
exceptions for all models.
See get()
.
EmptyResultSet
exception EmptyResultSet
[source]
EmptyResultSet
may be raised during query generation if a query won’t return any results. Most Django projects won’t encounter this exception, but it might be useful for implementing custom lookups and expressions.
FieldDoesNotExist
exception FieldDoesNotExist
[source]
The FieldDoesNotExist
exception is raised by a model’s _meta.get_field()
method when the requested field does not exist on the model or on the model’s parents.
MultipleObjectsReturned
exception MultipleObjectsReturned
[source]
The base class for Model.MultipleObjectsReturned
exceptions. A try/except
for MultipleObjectsReturned
will catch MultipleObjectsReturned
exceptions for all models.
See get()
.
SuspiciousOperation
exception SuspiciousOperation
[source]
The SuspiciousOperation
exception is raised when a user has performed an operation that should be considered suspicious from a security perspective, such as tampering with a session cookie. Subclasses of SuspiciousOperation
include:
DisallowedHost
DisallowedModelAdminLookup
DisallowedModelAdminToField
DisallowedRedirect
InvalidSessionKey
RequestDataTooBig
SuspiciousFileOperation
SuspiciousMultipartForm
SuspiciousSession
TooManyFieldsSent
If a SuspiciousOperation
exception reaches the ASGI/WSGI handler level it is logged at the Error
level and results in a HttpResponseBadRequest
. See the logging documentation for more information.
PermissionDenied
exception PermissionDenied
[source]
The PermissionDenied
exception is raised when a user does not have permission to perform the action requested.
ViewDoesNotExist
exception ViewDoesNotExist
[source]
The ViewDoesNotExist
exception is raised by django.urls
when a requested view does not exist.
MiddlewareNotUsed
exception MiddlewareNotUsed
[source]
The MiddlewareNotUsed
exception is raised when a middleware is not used in the server configuration.
ImproperlyConfigured
exception ImproperlyConfigured
[source]
The ImproperlyConfigured
exception is raised when Django is somehow improperly configured – for example, if a value in settings.py
is incorrect or unparseable.
FieldError
exception FieldError
[source]
The FieldError
exception is raised when there is a problem with a model field. This can happen for several reasons:
- A field in a model clashes with a field of the same name from an abstract base class
- An infinite loop is caused by ordering
- A keyword cannot be parsed from the filter parameters
- A field cannot be determined from a keyword in the query parameters
- A join is not permitted on the specified field
- A field name is invalid
- A query contains invalid order_by arguments
ValidationError
exception ValidationError
[source]
The ValidationError
exception is raised when data fails form or model field validation. For more information about validation, see Form and Field Validation, Model Field Validation and the Validator Reference.
NON_FIELD_ERRORS
NON_FIELD_ERRORS
ValidationError
s that don’t belong to a particular field in a form or model are classified as NON_FIELD_ERRORS
. This constant is used as a key in dictionaries that otherwise map fields to their respective list of errors.
BadRequest
exception BadRequest
[source]
New in Django Development version.
The BadRequest
exception is raised when the request cannot be processed due to a client error. If a BadRequest
exception reaches the ASGI/WSGI handler level it results in a HttpResponseBadRequest
.
RequestAborted
exception RequestAborted
[source]
The RequestAborted
exception is raised when a HTTP body being read in by the handler is cut off midstream and the client connection closes, or when the client does not send data and hits a timeout where the server closes the connection.
It is internal to the HTTP handler modules and you are unlikely to see it elsewhere. If you are modifying HTTP handling code, you should raise this when you encounter an aborted request to make sure the socket is closed cleanly.
SynchronousOnlyOperation
exception SynchronousOnlyOperation
[source]
The SynchronousOnlyOperation
exception is raised when code that is only allowed in synchronous Python code is called from an asynchronous context (a thread with a running asynchronous event loop). These parts of Django are generally heavily reliant on thread-safety to function and don’t work correctly under coroutines sharing the same thread.
If you are trying to call code that is synchronous-only from an asynchronous thread, then create a synchronous thread and call it in that. You can accomplish this is with asgiref.sync.sync_to_async()
.
URL Resolver exceptions
URL Resolver exceptions are defined in django.urls
.
Resolver404
exception Resolver404
The Resolver404
exception is raised by resolve()
if the path passed to resolve()
doesn’t map to a view. It’s a subclass of django.http.Http404
.
NoReverseMatch
exception NoReverseMatch
The NoReverseMatch
exception is raised by django.urls
when a matching URL in your URLconf cannot be identified based on the parameters supplied.
Database Exceptions
Database exceptions may be imported from django.db
.
Django wraps the standard database exceptions so that your Django code has a guaranteed common implementation of these classes.
exception Error
exception InterfaceError
exception DatabaseError
exception DataError
exception OperationalError
exception IntegrityError
exception InternalError
exception ProgrammingError
exception NotSupportedError
The Django wrappers for database exceptions behave exactly the same as the underlying database exceptions. See PEP 249, the Python Database API Specification v2.0, for further information.
As per PEP 3134, a __cause__
attribute is set with the original (underlying) database exception, allowing access to any additional information provided.
exception models.``ProtectedError
Raised to prevent deletion of referenced objects when using django.db.models.PROTECT
. models.ProtectedError
is a subclass of IntegrityError
.
exception models.``RestrictedError
Raised to prevent deletion of referenced objects when using django.db.models.RESTRICT
. models.RestrictedError
is a subclass of IntegrityError
.
Http Exceptions
Http exceptions may be imported from django.http
.
UnreadablePostError
exception UnreadablePostError
UnreadablePostError
is raised when a user cancels an upload.
Sessions Exceptions
Sessions exceptions are defined in django.contrib.sessions.exceptions
.
SessionInterrupted
exception SessionInterrupted
[source]
New in Django Development version.
SessionInterrupted
is raised when a session is destroyed in a concurrent request. It’s a subclass of BadRequest
.
Transaction Exceptions
Transaction exceptions are defined in django.db.transaction
.
TransactionManagementError
exception TransactionManagementError
TransactionManagementError
is raised for any and all problems related to database transactions.
Testing Framework Exceptions
Exceptions provided by the django.test
package.
RedirectCycleError
exception client.``RedirectCycleError
RedirectCycleError
is raised when the test client detects a loop or an overly long chain of redirects.
Python Exceptions
Django raises built-in Python exceptions when appropriate as well. See the Python documentation for further information on the Built-in Exceptions.
